I have a Pietta 1860 army that has a reverse problem from most that I've seen. The cylinder gap is so close that after the first 6 shots the cylinder starts to bind from fowling, in a way I'm okay with this because the cylinder pin stays clean and it shoots great. I just find it a pain to take it apart and wipe it down every time I load.
My question is what was the standard gap on the originals (if there was one) and any ideas on how to correct this.
